Auto mining drone

Description
This is a remote controlled, automatic mining ship with a large cargo container. It will automatically mine a straight tunnel through an asteroid and stop on the other side! As you can see there is a beacon on the top, which turns on when its mining to let you know that its going. Once done, the beacon will turn off to let you know when to collect it. I made this completley in survival and it works quite well, at least for my needs.

Hope you like it!

and maby make it so it explores a sirtain area and documents ore spots and mines them?

It already does, when the sensor detects no asteroid in front of the miner, a beacon titled Done! is toggled on and alerts the user the ship is ready to collect.

As a thought, can you instead make it turn on a second beacon (so it's easier to find), with like 'Mining Ship Done' or something
